Bad makeup
Any girl, anyway, is familiar with the situation when she really wanted to make a beautiful make-up, but in the end something unintelligible came out. And not only poorly chosen color gamut or poor-quality cosmetics is to blame for this - the lack of practice and the lack of knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of one's face affects. However, do not worry - sometimes even the stars on the red carpet can be seen with makeup, at least strange. But professionals work with them. Let's try to understand why makeup can add 5-10 years to you, how to avoid it and correct the mistakes made.
Major mistakes
Unsuccessful makeup can pretty spoil the mood for the whole day, even the most self-confident beauty. In order for you to never face this problem, we made a selection of 10 major mistakes that age and disfigure any person:
- Busting with foundation. Sometimes, wanting to achieve perfect skin tone, the girls are too zealous, as a result of which the face begins to resemble a plaster mask with a visible border along the contour of the face. Do not do this. The cream should lie on the surface of the skin with a thin, weightless layer and be practically invisible. If you want to hide any flaws, use a tool with a flicker effect that will disguise them perfectly;
- Inability to use concealer. Girls who have a more or less uniform complexion may forget about this product altogether. However, not everyone is so lucky, there are situations when you really need to remove the blue under the eyes or cover up the trail from the pimple. In this case, take the concealer (its tone should be a little lighter than the color of your skin) and apply it to the problem area. Gently blend with a brush or sponge;
- "Wrong" eyebrows. Another very important detail that can both transform and spoil the face is the intelligent design of the eyebrows. You do not need to make them too wide, you do not need to pull them out "into a string." If you are not able to decide on the optimal shape and width of the eyebrows, go to the master-vyazhistu, let him arrange them as needed, and then you can just maintain them in this form at home. The same goes for color. Do not make eyebrows very dark, but do not leave colorless. Ideally, the color of the eyebrows should be half a tone darker than the hair color;
- Poor choice of lipstick. Plump seductive lips - the dream of every woman. However, in our desire to emphasize them, we sometimes go too far: we use too bright lipstick, which, spreading, emphasizes the wrinkles above the upper lip; select the color that makes us older (especially for the maroon-red color range, as well as dark brown shades); we draw lips with a pencil, on tone is more dark than lipstick. Errors in lip makeup are allowed very much. If you want to avoid them - use light shades, for example, beige, light pink, peach. And do not forget about lip gloss. With it, you can achieve the required volume effect;
- Eyeliner lower eyelid. Nothing ages or diminishes the eyes as a fat lower eyelid with black pencil. This makeup looks very vulgar and cheap. If you need to emphasize the eye on the lower contour - use shades of gray and brown, while not forgetting about feathering. So you can achieve a "smoky" effect and your look will be mysterious and attractive;
- Nacre on the eyelids. This option is only suitable for performing festive makeup, and even with the proviso: if you already have wrinkles on the eyelids, pearl shadows will treacherously emphasize them.Therefore, in everyday make-up, use a nude palette of shadows, preferably without any shine;
- "Spider legs." No, we are not talking about the representatives of the fauna, but about the cinnamon so intensely painted with ink that they stick out like spider legs and disfigure your eyes. To achieve the effect of volume, get a good mascara. Trying to achieve this by applying cosmetic products in several layers, you only make your eyelashes heavier and make them sloppy. This is especially true of the lower eyelashes. It is better to either not paint them at all, or apply mascara in one layer and comb well;
- Cheeks- "apples". Remember Marfushenka-darling from the fairy tale "Frost"? Unless she is the benchmark of a stylish make-up for you, never abuse blush. Carefully examine your face shape, read on the Internet, which places should be slightly darkened in order to bring it closer to the ideal. Apply blush light strokes, carefully blend, select shades, a little darker than your skin, but in the appropriate tone;
- Bronze statue. A tanned face always looks more beautiful and rested than a pale face. However, the fear of photo-aging causes girls and women to fear the open sun, so they resort to the help of bronzing tonal tools: this is a huge mistake. Bronzer is intended only to emphasize the dark skin color, but not to create it. Therefore, if you do not want to achieve the effect of a “dirty” face, do not use bronzers in make-up;
- Too obvious lip contour. There was a time when it was fashionable to encircle the lips with a pencil, much darker than lipstick. Now it is no longer simply irrelevant - it is considered a sign of bad taste. To prevent lipstick from spreading, you can circle the lips with a pencil that is lighter or identical in color, without forgetting to shade it a little.
Fix bugs
Once you realize what exactly is your mistake when doing makeup, you have to correct it and never repeat. DFor this, try to follow these guidelines:
- Do not leave your comfort zone. If you have decided which particular make-up techniques best emphasize the virtues of your face - use them. It is better not to try to amaze those around you with a daily change of image, but to be beautiful every day, remaining yourself;
- Fat gloss on the skin, few people like it. But the “mask effect” from an overly dense toning agent is also unlikely to decorate you. Therefore, use the mineral powder required shade instead of cream, and to highlight the cheekbones, eyebrows and the area above the lips, take a drop of highlighter;
- Solemn event - wedding, graduation, corporate party - require persistence from makeup for a long time. The best way out is to use water-resistant products, and not at all the minutely absences “to powder the nose”;
- The passion for contouring has given rise to many curiosities. Very often you can meet girls and women with very obvious stripes on the face. The advice in this case is: lDo not contour anything at all unless you can do it correctly. Just apply blush on your cheekbones and a little highlighter under eyebrows. So you will look fresh and natural;
- Do not abuse glitter. They tend to crumble, and in the end, instead of a bright festive makeup, you get a dirty face. Want shine on the eyelids - use the shade with the effect of "metallic";
- Always take a small cosmetic bag with you with the tools you usually use. Put in it also cotton swabs and sponges, wet wipes, comb for eyebrows and eyelashes;
- There is nothing worse than terrible makeup on a solemn day when you need to look perfect. To avoid punctures, be sure to rehearse the festive makeup. Take into account all the shortcomings and correct them. Use only the most proven and high-quality cosmetics.And then nothing will spoil your festive mood and memorable photos.
Celebrity star punctures
We often look at pop stars and cinema as idols, as an example to follow. However, they are not insured against unsuccessful makeup. Below are the most shameful examples when even recognized beauties looked strange and ridiculous:
- Jennifer Lopez. Too bright face skin in tandem with dark lipstick is not the best combination. Especially when you consider that the natural color of her skin is a couple of tones darker;
- Sienna Miller. There is a bust with contouring. Plus, a rather strange reddish tint was chosen;
- Catherine Zeta-Jones. It seems that Catherine herself did not see herself in the mirror. Very casual makeup added her a couple of years and made her face tired;
- Pamela Andersen. Strange make-up, whether from the 80s, or from the 90s. Thin eyebrows, sloppy lips, inept contouring. The image was repulsive;
- Selma Hayek. Salma has by nature a very bright appearance. It was not worth it so zealous with eye makeup;
- Naomi Campbell. It would seem that Naomi should see all the mistakes of her makeup artist, but for some reason she did not see them. And she came out with rounded temples;
- Eva Longoria. Too much of everything. This is the only way to characterize Eve's “war paint”.
So, you were convinced that every woman makes mistakes in make-up.
The most important thing is to realize in time what exactly is going for you, and what makes your face older by a couple of years and highlights the shortcomings. Do not be afraid to make mistakes - be afraid not to correct. And then every day you will enjoy your reflection in the mirror.
